All depends on the wheel.

The standard Vaux locking nuts have a collar on them, making them no good for certain wheels with a narrow bolt shaft. I had to buy onthers for the Reflexes and give them away. McGard are one of the best at around £30 a pair if your vaux ones don't fit. Also the standard bolts look poor in comparison to some nice new alloy bolts, so go on, splash out a bit further and do it properly.

You need M12 x 1.5 threaded bolts, 26.4mm long with a 17mm Hex head. McGard part Nuber 2717

As I said, normally £30 from Halfrauds but my last ones I got for £17 of the bay. None there at the moment, just looked for ya ;)
